foxyrider - that's a 4 and a half meg photo! can't resize?
Bike - all year round, but built for the worst. Lights and mudguards stay on all year round and are great when the weather catches you out.

1 cat-eye light on tracing (side to side) mode and a 1/2 watt on steady. Eye catching but not too dazzling. Front has a P7 torch. Visibility from the side isn't the best until...

You catch the reflective tyres

And there's a little mirror to give you lots of warning of traffic coming up from behind.

35 mm knobblies (Schwalbe Marathon XR or sommert).

Same bike all year, just add a rear guard and some fluffy Velcro on the down tube in winter time
Two observations
1. A commuter should have mudguards
2. A Pub bike doesn't need suspension forks - even if they're crap they still make it more nickable
This is my 'all year round' commuter 😀

Slightly damp Brompton sulking in the corner
bike/train/bike
covered in London filth - has taken half hour off my commute and no more tube for me, which is really very welcome
As an all year round cycle commuter, I'm a bit staggered that people are posting up bikes without mudguards, unless they are bikes in their summer guise. Are people really hopping on every wet winter day thinking; yes in 2 minutes time my crack will be full of freezing water, that's the way I roll???
^Crud Catchers are going on v.soon

A pompino, fixed obviously.
Come the new financial year, I'll be getting a new bike on the cycle to work scheme and this is the top of my list so far.

That was as bought 18 months ago. Since put layback post on, new stem, SPDs and bar ends. Need a new rear tyre now, so taking recommendations.
Oh... and it stays like that all year. Mudguards may look shite, but help stop it getting knicked!
Now with a shorter Thomson Stem:
